Cancel = True not turning edit feature off

[Guest]

I have been goofing around with both of these codes, thanks to the help of
you guys here and in my research I see that the Cancel = True line is in the
coding to tell Excel not to go into edit mode when a cell is double-clicked.

Well, when I double-click in the target range of cells B3 to B8, Excel is
going into Edit mode.

What am I doing wrong?

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)

Cancel = True
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B3:B8")) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "P" Then
Target = vbNullString
ElseIf Target = vbNullString Then
Target = "P"
Else
End If
End If

End Sub

OR


Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
Cancel = True
With Target
If Not Intersect(.Cells, Range("B3:B8")) Is Nothing Then
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Value = "P"
Else
.ClearContents
End If
End If
End With
End Sub

Just got it to work.

I saved and closed the workbook and then reopened it and it started working.

Glad it's working. I would advise against using the IsEmpty version, though.
It doesn't mean what you would think it means (even if it works).
